In the morning, the NASC gave comments on draft amendments to the Penal Code, which will be submitted to the NA at its coming session. Delegates thoroughly discussed supplemented crimes and the removal of death penalty.
 
In the afternoon, the NASC heard reports from its oversight delegation and the Government on the outcomes of the international economic integration process since Vietnam became a member of the World Trade Organisation.
